thought I had, but by rechecking that LJ, I'm definitely not, am I? LOL (Thanks for the obvious advice Snuffy, I needed it!--BTW, being in the same "town" could be awesome!!!)
We skipped church this morning. We're not quite up to attending our old church yet (pride....ya know), if ever. (We loved it there, but it being big, there were already tons of volunteers...) We've been going to a church that meets at my school for the past 3 weeks. We checked it out one Sunday last Spring, before we "moved away". It's a pretty good church, with lots of potential, just not sure if it's where we're supposed to be. That will be the main focus once we get moved and settled.
Speaking of which...we went and saw the apartment, not too bad, but still not liking the highway off the back yard (or the '70's cabinets in the kitchen---UGH!). The lady REALLY seems to like us, and if we'd said we wanted it, it'd be ours as soon as the tennants get out. But, right in the middle of seeing that place, my cell phone rang and it was the realtor overseeing the rental of the double-wide! LOL I let it ring and then called him back. The DW is in our price range, so we're going to meet him tomorrow (today?--Monday) to take a look at the inside. If we like, we'll apply. It's got some work to make it look good (for example, grass that's grown all summer w/o being cut), but the yard is nice and big. If we put up a little pen for Rocky, we'll be good to go. Hopefully I'll have "news" by the time I put the kiddos to bed.
On another note....HURRICANE KATRINA...
First, it happened on my birthday...I'm just very grateful they didn't name it "Hurricane Kathleen"! I've always wanted my name to be a storm, but I think I'm over that one now! On our little road trip on Saturday, we listened to the latest RelientK CD, and heard the song "High of 75" and I got goosebumps so badly that even my scalp had them. Wanna know why? Last year at Rock the Universe Jerry said they dedicated that song to all of the Florida hurricane victims. (Of which said hurricanes, we sat through three of them...only to be missed by Ivan.) BTW---RTU was this weekend, along with Night of Joy, and it's the first year we haven't participated in it (RTU)...but that won't happen again! (Snuffy, if you end up down here, there's a free YP thing at Universal in March or April, we'll be there with ya man!!!)
So, here are those lyrics...(especially check out the chorus in bold, that's where I got the creepy goosebumps...realizing how lucky so many people are...just to be alive! My life seems very blessed, even with all of the mess...So I'll try to complain a whole lot less--yeah, rhyming, doncha love it?)
HIGH OF 75
We were talking together
I said, “What’s up with this weather?”
Don't know whether or not
How sad I just got
Was on my own volition
Or if I’m just missing the sun
And tomorrow I know
Will be rainy at best
And the forecast I know
Is that I’ll be depressed
But I’ll wait outside
Hoping that I’ll catch sight of the sun
Because on and off
The clouds have fought for control over the sky
And lately the weather has been so bi-polar
And consequently so have I
But now I’m
Sunny with a high of 75
Since you took my heavy heart and made it light
And it's funny how you find you enjoy your life
When you’re happy to be alive
And the temperature is freezing
And then after dark
There’s a cold front
Sweeping in over my heart
And we might break up
If I don’t wake up to the sun
